I want to go far away~ (8)
Deliver me from Swedish furniture.
Deliver me from clever art.
May I never be complete.
May I never be content.
May I never be perfect.
What would happen if I were to leave the university for a second time?
What would happen if I just took my backpack and went away? Working in a cruise, maybe. I have the English skills to do so. Or just taking a visa to whatever country and deciding what I would do once I'm there.
The Family would be so disappointed.
But the truth is, the reason I entered college in the fist place was to please them. And because I can't be economically dependant of them forever, and because Smart Girls Are Supposed to Have a Career; and as a Smart Girl, my pride wouldn't let me NOT enter college. All those are good, logical reasons.
But I don't want to be here, stuck in this city for the next five years. I don't like to be a barely-recovered hikikomori struggling to carry out a routine. I don't want to finish this, get a 9-5 job and work 'till I'm 60 and able to retire. That prospect horrifies me.
I like studying Anthropology, but the stress is killing me, and I'm failing, and not for a lack of brains. I'm just so demotivated. I have papers to present, and tests and exams to take, and I just can't find the will to do this.
I want adventure. I want a purpose. I want-- I just don't want to be here. There must be something else to life than this.
What should I do?
Conflicted.
